Message: [QUOTE="Jaybird65, post: 2512395, member: 7794"] I can say that I was a KO fan going into this year. The way things are going, it seems that a complete rebuild of MBB needs to happen; not sure if KO can lead that. We can still be successful in MBB being in the AAC. Not sure what our recruiting strategy is but I'd suggest that we take a look at what Wichita State, Gonzaga & Cincinnati do..... they are staying relevant on the. national stage in MBB regardless of football. The AAC is getting better as a whole in MBB; it's also getting better as a football conference. Until this whole P5 thing plays out, the AAC is the best place for us. The AAC is a really good conference for baseball, softball, the 2 soccer programs & other non-revenue sports; ice hockey is where it needs to be. The AAC isn't to blame for the MBB situation - our ability to adapt to being in the AAC rather than the Big East as we loved it is more of the cause; the AAC is not as ""sexy" to top 50 recruits as the P5 conferences which impacts recruiting. Our legacy is only meaningful to us right now; 4 NC's since 99 don't really mean as much to recruits since the landscape has changed. [/QUOTE]
